Thanks for this great tutorial. I first saw this bag on Lisa's blog and I feel in love. I couldn't wait for the tutorial. I'm going to make one of these first thing tomorrow.
Great tutorial - as soon as my sewing machine arrives I'll be making one! And I love the endpaper mitts in your last post.
great job jess!! all very easy to follow 
i'm going to have to try sewing the square on your way now!
These bags are so cute and would be a great improvement on the ziplocs I currently use to carry around projects. Thanks for posting this.
Great tutorial Jess! It really is just as simple as it looks. Thanks for helping V and me make those cute little bags!
Thanks so much for the tutorial - I'll be making one of these tonight!
Thanks for the tutorial Jess, you did a great job writing it, and the pics are great. What a wonderful team you guys are.
Oh, these bags are so much fun to make! Thanks for showing me in person.
thanks for the tutorial! i think i'll have to make a few for those unruly little projects lying all around.
Thanks for the tutorial. I just made three and one will be going to my Knit Mit Kit Swap partner. Perfecto!
i can't wait to make it! maybe tonight? actually, i'll probably be too sleepy tonight, but soon. thank you thank you hon!
Adorable! Thanks for the tutorial. Also, love the new background on your blog and congrats on the 100th post! A real milestone.
Great tutorial!! Alas, my sewing machine is sorely neglected as I try to finish my knitting projects.
That is a great tutorial. I am going to take out my sewing maching out this summer and give it a try. Thank you!
ack! I missed the hands on lesson! I may request a private 
I spent yesterday with my machine, but I was monogramming next year's (and forever for that matter) Christmas stockings. Sewing is next weekend.
Ummm...how do you make this look so easy? Those bags are so cute! You know, you should etsy them, for the less craftily-minded peeps out there. I'm going to "borrow" my mom's sewing machine as soon as I get back to civilization in May!
great job! you make it look so easy!
Lovely!
If anyone wanted to avoid fitting the sides to the bottom, you could also just take two rectangles, fold them in half and sew the bottoms and sides, and then square off the bottoms by sewing a triangle across each bottom point.
Oh...that makes no sense without a picture, does it? Nevermind! It's a more wasteful than your method, anyway.
I love seeing what everyone makes these in...
Great tutorial! Inspiration to get out the sewing machine and use some of the nice fabric I have stashed away.The more fabric I use and the more drawstring bags I give as gifts, the more room there is for yarn!
Thanks Jess!!!!
love the bag and the mitts. quick question, a few months back you were talking about rowing out, where did you find the "reverse knitting" instructions. I am making the cutest hoodie from Greetings from Knit Cafe and the Lush shows every irregularity in my hand. Thanks.
lisa
very cool...i'm definitely gonna give it a go.
Thanks for the great tutorial. I think I need to make one of these for my current knitting project (just throwing it in my bag isn't really working that well).
I am super excited about this! My sewing machine has sat there unused for too long, I say!
Love your fabric too....
This is so funny. I JUST finished doing a tutorial on a chain on MY blog, and then I came here and found yours! How weird is that?
I love these little bags! They are just adorable!
Jess....
These are awesome.....I do sew and you have a great tutorial....how bout me sending you my fabric chooses and a few extra's just for you....and you let me know how much for the sewing (priceless) and I will gladly pay you to make me one!
Diane
Now I want a sewing machine more than ever! Fabric is so damn pretty. Endpaper mitts are very snazzy, too!
your post convinced me that i need to buy a sewing machine... thanks for this great tutorial!!
cute bag, thanks for the tips.
Hello, I just found your tutorial and I just love the bags! I'm going to start on mine tomorrow! You girls are so talented. Girl get your stuff on Ebay! Rena
Thank you for this well-written tutorial! I like it how you use the opening of the two fabrics (where you pulled the inside out) as the entry to the channel for the cord. This looks good and is nicer to handle in compare to having to close the opening in a neat way and to make an opening for the cord at the side. I hope this makes sense what I am writing (English is not my mother tongue).
WooHooooo! The exact tutorial I have been looking for! I just started sewing in December and this is awesome! Going to make one tonight. Question...where do you find the double cord stops for the drawstring though? I made a bag (not reversible) already and I can not find the cord stops anywhere. You can email me...that would be great!

maybe my email would be helpful? lol

Thanks again!

I followed a series of links to get here a few days ago. Thanks for the tutorial! What a great way to use up fat quarters.
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial! I made one this weekend and now I can carry my sock around in style! The tutorial is excellent and everything worked out so well!
Hi there!
I just used your tutorial to make a drawstring bag for myself and wanted to say thanks for a great tutorial. You can see pics on my blog of the finished product here... http://dizzydragonfly.blogspot.c...ore-
sewing.html
Cheers!
Found your lovely tutorial through Dizzy Dragon's blog - thanks so much! It looks great (love that fabric!) and I'm off to make one, or two, or...
Thanks for sharing this. Once I got the hang of it, the project was a breeze!
Thank you for the fantastic tutorial! I'd like to ask you some questions about it, if you wouldn't mind. Would you mind emailing me?
Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial! I made my first yesterday (it's on my blog) and I *LOVE* it!!! Can't wait to make more!
Your bag is adorable! Thanks so much for posting the great tutorial. I have been eager to make a bag for myself, but after searching for several weeks I still have not been able to locate a double cord stop. Can I ask where you found yours? I especially like that you used a clear one, and I had hoped to find one like it.
Thanks for your help!
Great tutorial! I have a couple of tiny suggestions - additions? - that I've made when building mine. A) putting a 5x5 piece of plastic canvas in between the layers on the bottom seems to help the bag stay upright when I'm knitting out of it, and B) sewing a little coordinating pocket onto each of the layers before putting them together leaves me with a place to stash stitch markers, etc.
Now please excuse me - I'm off to make more of your bags!
Several people have asked me where I got my drawstring stops--I'm pretty sure it was here:

I was wandering the garment district in NYC when I found them, hence the 1% doubt that this was the exact spot. But if it was them, they had a nice assortment. Not sure if they do mail order, but perhaps?
Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for this great tutorial! I just made one of these (pictures on my blog) - it was so easy, and I love the results. Thank you!
Thank you for a great tutorial! I have tried every trick I can think of, but I cannot make it print beyond the first page. When I Print Preview, it looks as if the subsequent pages are behind the first page, and the printer doesn't capture it. Do you have any suggestions? I'm pretty computer savvy, so I don't think its me. Thanks!
This is a great tutorial! I am a newbie to sewing so I love it when I can actually understand what to do. (Now let's see if I can turn understanding into doing)
Thanks!
Thank you for this tutotial...
Simple but lovely
Your tutorial inspired me to pull out my sewing machine (it's been in the garage for 20 years and I've never completed a sewing project). Thank you so much for posting such a detailed set of instructions!
These bags are fantastic. I can't wait to get started on some one I get some material.
ps - I love the fact you have wine when you''re sewing!
Thanks so much for the great tutorial - with your photos it was a piece of cake! Pulling the one bag through the other sort of blew my little mind at first, but I worked it out. I made one as per the pattern, and then another one a bit longer/taller to accomodate long pull-skeins. Works great to disguise my yarn in motion from my cat...
Thank you for the great tutorial!! I just made one and love it! I can't wait to make more. Your pictures and explanation make it sooo easy!!
Sorry, a stupid question but what is "fat quarter"?
Thank you so much for this. I'm a bag maker and have been working with rounded corners for ages as I couldn't get square ones to work.
Just had a try and it's a dream - you are a star!
I just finished my first one and plan to make many more in different sizes. Thanks for the great tutorial!
Will gymnastics grips size 000 fit in these bags with wrist bands?
Awesome tutorial! I just made one to carry small projects around in, I will make more for my family/friends as well, these would make cute gift bags that could double as project bags for the crafty folks as well.
AM I retarded? Every time I make one of these adorable bags, my "rectangle" doesn't make it entirely around the "square." It's always a few inches short. When I do the math, it seems to me that the square should be smaller. 6 x 4 (the perimeter of the square) is 24 inches, so how could a 21-inch long rectangle go around somtething with a 24 inch perimeter? It can't. It can only go to 21 inches, and then you're 3 inches short on fabric. Am I the only one that is having this problem??? Is there something very obvious that I can't see??????
AWESOME tutorial! I whipped one of these up in about 30 minutes Using it to carry my latest knitting project. Thanks so much for putting this together!
